Sun Valley Solar Solutions has been a pioneer in harnessing Arizona's sunshine since our founding. Our role as a founding member of the Arizona Solar Deployment Alliance (ASDA) in 2013 marked a significant step in our journey. ASDA was established to create a unified voice for the solar industry, advocating for fair policies and educating the public about Arizona's solar energy benefits.

Reflecting on the past decade, the solar industry in Arizona has witnessed remarkable growth. The residential solar market, in particular, has seen robust installations, setting new records quarter after quarter. Despite rising interest rates and supply chain constraints, the sector thrives. The third quarter of 2023 alone saw an impressive 12% growth from the previous year in residential solar installations, underscoring the state's increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions.

However, the growth in residential solar installations in Arizona contrasts with some market slowdowns due to factors like high interest rates, which started affecting sales volumes in late 2022. These economic conditions have introduced complexity to the solar market, impacting installation volumes in various states, including Arizona. Nevertheless, the overall outlook for the U.S. solar industry remains positive, with an average annual growth of 14% expected between 2023 and 2028.

Sun Valley Solar Solutions, in partnership with PE Solar, continues to navigate these changing dynamics. We are committed to providing top-notch solar solutions, ensuring our community benefits from clean, reliable energy. Our journey with ASDA has been instrumental in shaping Arizona's solar landscape, and we remain dedicated to advocating for sustainable energy practices and empowering our customers with the best in solar technology.

Sun Valley Solar Solutions offers a range of residential and commercial solar services for those inspired by the sustainable revolution. We guide you through every transition to solar power, ensuring a seamless and empowering experience.

After working in technology marketing throughout the Pacific Northwest and Silicon Valley for more than 20 years, Kyle opted to follow his heart and focus his talents in solar energy.

As the head of Marketing at Sun Valley Solar Solutions, Kyle works hard to demystify the ever-changing solar landscape in Arizona and across the country. He especially enjoys helping people separate fact from fiction by presenting solar transparently and accurately, rather than relying on hype or deceptive marketing tactics that are far too common with some solar companies.

When not touting the benefits of solar, encouraging his friends to opt for paper over plastic, or growing his own vegetables, Kyle is generally found hiking with his pointer Bravo or preparing a home-cooked meal for friends.

“If you truly understand how solar works it’s easy to see through the gimmicks. The opportunity for savings is very real when you have the correct information”
